Somewhat surprisingly to me the NIH says you can give acetaminophen (the active ingredient in Tylenol) to birds.
The only study I can find used 10mg/kg intramuscularly. I can keep looking for an oral dose for you if you don't have anything with ibuprofen or aspirin (you really should keep baby aspirin in your chicken first aid kit!).

Well I hope so. But why not with Bernie?

Baby steps, my friend. Baby steps

I could lose my pilots license if I had chronic illnesses

Yes mamm. I can give Jaffar a tiny dose of Tylenol if it’s going to help him

How do you get only 10mg? Those pills are like 200mg for a human - you would need to get them compounded!

Capsules emptied onto a digital scale for small amounts. You are looking to get likely 10% of the human dose assuming a 2kg chicken.
I know, not easy - which is why aspirin is much easier!
I think it is relatively safe so if you go a bit over not a big deal.

She took my blood pressure (knowing my history) and wanted to take me to hospital. Haha. No problem didn’t go. I’m trying to take care of my feathered family

Well what was it?

You need to eat oranges, bananas, potatoes, and other foods high in potassium. Lay off the sugars and caffeine, and get some aerobic exercise.

You chooks will thank you!

Ok that’s encouraging

But she is correct, you need to take care of yourself in order to be able to care for your chooks! What would happen to them if you got really ill !??? You need to eat right, take your meds, and maybe go for a nice walk daily.

You need to be healthy, and be there for when Xzit goes broody and raises a brood of jaffar minions!

It sounds to me like Jaffar will be fine with some rest - now I am more worried about you.

Looks like you will have trouble getting a small enough dose for him. @Ponypoor pointed out that a human dose is like 10X of what you need to give him.
